Application filed February 10, 1915. Serial No. 7,319.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JOHN P, Monetize, a subject of Hungary, residing at Bridgeport, in the county of Fairfield and State of Connecticut, have invented new and useful limprovements in Tables, of which the -following is a specification,

The present invention has for its object theprovision of a table ofnovel construction, primarily intended for use on board ship, whereby the top of the table will be maintained in true horizontal position irrespective 0f the rocking movements of the ship.

To this end the invention essentially consists of a Weighted conical shaped member upon which the table top is mounted, the member being suitably supported for oscillatory movement in any direction whereby uniform equilibrium of the top will be maintained regardless of the tilting movements of the ship.

Other objects will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood. the same residing in the specific construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described.

In the drawing forming a part of this application like numerals of reference indi cate similar parts in the several views and in which: s

Figure 1 is a perspective View. 2 is a vertical sectional view,

Referring more particularly to the rlrewing 5 designates the floor of the ship, or other suitable support, upon which. is fastened the base plate 6. Rising from the base plate 6 is a rod 7 terminatingto nrovi le pointed end portion 8 that swing i supports the conical shaped member 9, e lethaving fixed thereto the tahle top liL shaped member 9 is closed at its small end bv means of a plug; ll of any suitable material, into which thepointcd end of the rod 7 partially projects, when the parts are 'opcratively associated as cicarlv shown in Fig. 2, whereby the member 9 is supported at its apex for lateral swinging movement. The member 9 m y e of any tcr The conical desired length, but spaced from floor to permit of this movement, and may also be constructed from any suitable material, preferably some lightmetal, having ring 12 of some weighted material secured the inner periphery thereof adjacent its lower end, whereby said member under the influence of the Weight will always ass incand maintain a true perpendicular position with respect to the floor of the shin regardless What the rocking and tilting movements the ship might be. V

secured to the \telltlr of the Leanne's .1

suitable poi below the ap x; thereof is a circumferential series of lm shaped bracket arms 13, the horizontally )OSGQ 5 flanges 14 of which. support the table top 10 to which they are secured in anv szilitahle manner. Fixed to the plug it at the top oi the conical shaped niem i portion of a bracket 15, new radiall preectin g-arms 16 upon "which is supported a relatively small table top l? to which they are secured in any suitable manner. in addition to possessing an oscillatory movement, the conical shaped member 9 is free to revolve, whereby he table they be used the capacity of a. self-serving it so desired.

is believed that trees the fcrego scription the nature and s invention will re v apparent wi' requiring a more e'xteneel explanation and i s L therefore the sen e me e ted 'owever esirc tn have u i do not limit n'ivsel th tion herein discl illustrative tion, and tha struction, art-an Sill a base, a rod ris' terniinatiug in a po low member surrcmnd ,closing the small end V shape a notch 1.61"

taining' the member and table "in a true perpendicular relation to the deck of the ship.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
